Release the GIL in serialization when it is safe to do so (#120818)
In particular this ensures we release the GIL when serializing:
- PyBytes objects (this is how we get the pickle object)
- Storage objects
Other string-like objects keep the gil which is fine because we only use this for very small strings today (for endianess) and so releasing the GIL is not important there
